| 378035 | 2005-08-04 10:59:00 | Hi PCTEK- I tried to open them on the shortcuts - would they have opened from say start etc? Now I have smithie 38 badgering me on msn to "stop Fiddling"- as he usually does when we play chess etc- who needs friends like him eh? :confused: Anyway it is not the end of the world- I thought I was being politically correct in asking you professionals - - but not so! :D Do you know how to remove the bracketed letters while leaving well alone? :mad: effie c :waughh: Shortcuts just point to a location. It probably still says E:. So just delete the shortcut and make a new one or you can edit the shortcut. Right click - properties - where it shows the actual path of the file - E:/something chnage it to D: or wherever the location is now. Alternatively you could make friend come back and sort it as he was the one that started the whole business. Can't see why he'd mess with the drive letters to install ram, though. On second thoughts, maybe not get him back. |

| 378036 | 2005-08-04 12:28:00 | XP shows the drive with the user assigned "name" and the computer assigned drive letter The computer assigned drive letter is always in brackets vis (E:) - dont mess with it. Sounds like you assigned a NAME of E as well so it appears as E (E:). Under Windows Explorer right clicking the drive allows you to change the user assigned name, as an example my backup data drive is assigne a name of P4HDD and a Windows assignment of (E:) It therefore displays as P4HDD (E:) The brackets are non removeable to the best of my knowledge, its just the way Explorer shows them to delineate the drive letter from the name. |

Selecting that stops all smilies being displayed in that post. :) Eg: (E:) :D :p :thumbs: |

| 378039 | 2005-08-04 22:19:00 | Hi Jen,Godfather,pctek et al After last night the so called ( not the ram installer) friend cackled and laughed on msn - he keeps on suggesting I stop FIDDLING- I am rapidly become the pariah of pooters :rolleyes: Well I might have a look at what GF suggests but to be truthfull my elderly brain is starting to seize up- and that is bad - even making allowances for inbuilt stupidity- I think I will diplomatically retreat to the bush and lick my wounds- after all I still have an operating pooter albeit with too many brackets and wrong letter names :waughh: Thanks all - and I concede it was a pleasant break from tedious other problems that I see on F1 :groan: :rolleyes: I think!!!! effie c |
